Woody Tribune Business Editor Reprinted from the ! Salt Lake Tribune No question, last season was the best yet for the Utah ; Ski industry., It wasn't just good. It was smashing. With the Sierra resorts rock bare from a snow "Drought", California skiers came to Utah by the droves. . Blocked by the picket line of striking bus drivers at Sun Valley, the Kennedy clan also showed to test the Wasatch snows. There's no certainty that snow will not return to the Sierra this year or that the Kennedys will return to Utah. Better Year? Even so, resort operators have a seat-of-the-pants feeling feel-ing that business will be better this year, no matter what. Among the reasons: Those who were forcibly exposed to Utah skiing last year will be returning. Snowbird information director Jill Whitesides says that bookings are about 25 percent ahead of the same time last year when the resort had 125,000 "skier nights" pre-sold. Employes have been removed re-moved from some 50 on-side units to ' find residence somewhere at the canyon base to make room for the ' visitors. 20 percent Ray Johnson, president of Greater Park City Resort, speculates business gross will be up at least 20 percent this year over the 1975-76 . season. That season- was up 50 , percent over the season before and turned the resort's first profit on ski operations. Indeed, the parent Alpine Meadows of Lake Tahoe Inc., which owns 90 percent of Greater Park City, turned up record earnings of $87,000 equal, to $1.09 a share, compared with 41 cents a share the year before. Payable Dec. 1 "Directors have' declared a 10 cents a share dividend, ' payable Dec. 1 to holders of record Nov. 1", Mr. Johnson -said. That compares with a seven-cent-a-share declaration declara-tion the year before. The resort was near bank-rupcty bank-rupcty at the finale of 1974-75 season, when Alpine -Meadows stepped in to take over ski operations.' . . ' The financial agony of nearby Park West also appears to be ending. Unsold Condominiums Principals of Snyderville Transportation Co., which took over the ski operations last year, also hope to take over ownership of the 130 condominiums, unsold and unused for two years. , . If they turn up a successful . bid for the condominiums at a sheriffs sale October 18 at 10 a.m. at the Summit County courthouse in Coalville, Coal-ville, they will have the condominiums on the market by mid-Noveraberi according to Jack Roberts, president of the resort. The sheriffs sale is the result of a foreclosure action by Ford Motor Credit Co., which claims $4.4 million from the original developers. Tidying Up In the meantime, anticipating anticipat-ing a successful bid, the Snyderville Condominiums, Inc., tile tentative buyer, has been tidying and restoring the condominiums and their premises. There has been no major construction this year in the areas. - Park City Resort has put in two new lifts one on its training hill and the other on Jupiter Mountain Bowl to the tune of SL1 million. Snowbird is adding a new office, restaurant and shop space in its main administrative administra-tive building, and has installed install-ed a lift in Peruvian Basin. ; Replaces Lift Alta resort has replaced its ; first Albion Basin lift with, a newer version. f Some rates will be up. Some will be the same. , Snowbird and Park City, Resort hit the magic $10 mark for day passes. Each was up a dollar over the previous year. Snowbird's all-lifts (tram excluded) pass was up a dollar to $7.50. " . Alta which had hung fast at $5.5 0 for three years for a day pass is up 50 cents to $7. Brighton is staying at $5 for the day pass. Other categories the half day, the ten-rider, etc. also remain unchanged. " Last Year's Rate Robert Redford's Sundance, too, is holding at last year's rate, with the top being $7 for a day pass. . Park West's day pass is up to $B from last year's $7. Other than the adult season's pass up to $145 from $135 and the student's weekday season pass dp to $35 from $75 other categories (family, etc.) remain the same. Dr. Alvin Cobabe's Powder Mountain Resort upped its day pass by 50 cents to $7.50. Other categories, remain re-main the same as last year. Several of the resorts are offering discount pre-season purchases of passes calculated, calculat-ed, to trim the daily cost of skiing. Nicholas J.
